    A perfectly executed strike last night. Thank you to France and the United Kingdom for their wisdom and the power of their fine Military. Could not have had a better result. Mission Accomplished!

        He doesn't know even the most recent history. He will take credit for coining the phrase "Mission accomplished." 😂

        Because someone doesn’t remember history or remembers/interprets it incorrectly. That and an outsized ego.

        My guess is that he has no sense of the historical connotations because he doesn’t remember any of it. It still sounds like a positive to him.

        The answer is obvious. #Trump is psychologically manipulative - first and foremost, and he has help. #FOXNews

        Because when the military is tasked, it's accurate.

        Military is often accurate. Sometimes not so much. Civilians dead and dying.

        When the context is a military operation ... the mission has an expected outcome. It's not a play on words. It is what it is. I think using chemical weapons on civilians warrants removal of the regime. It's not combat. It's terrorism.
